@lorirenee1, I looked up the fatty acid that you are taking and it looks like you can take it with ala, an antioxidant, together for a synergistic effect. Alpha Lipoic acid is targeted for neuropathy caused by diabetes, which I don’t have but thinking it may be good for the pain. I am interested in finding anything I can consume naturally. That is great news that PEA may be helping you. It does take a bit of time to notice the effects with both of them. I will keep in touch! Laura
